Gearbox's Randy Pitchford tweets that the Mechromancer DLC for Borderlands 2 will be released today, a week earlier than planned. Here's word, which does not explain why: "So - here's the surprise, Mechromancer for Borderlands 2 is ready about a week earlier than I promised. Oct 9, all platforms. Woo!" Thanks GameSpot.

I don't know, its hard to tell by the talent calc alone but I don't really care for the proposed abilities and talent trees. Why do so many choices include some sort of penalty? That robot better wipe the map when deployed to justify that sort of crap.
